Some of what we’ve made
A look at what we make. Nothing here is for sale yet — these are pieces that have already gone to new babies, and a sense of what the first collection will feel like.
Every one of them was made by our mother, by hand.

About
Saboori means patience.
It is close to our grandmother Sabira’s name, and it is what she said whenever our hands got tangled learning to knit, crochet and embroider at her table.
She made things constantly and gave almost all of them away — blankets, hats, embroidered pieces — to her grandchildren, to her friends’ children, to any new baby in the community. She simply thought that a person arriving in the world should be handed something someone had spent hours on.
We use Sabira’s method: one stitch at a time, no shortcuts, and it takes as long as it takes. We are bringing the warmth she gave other families into yours.

Care
How to wash it
Short version: cold, gentle, lay it flat to dry. Every piece has a sewn-in label with its own fibre content and instructions — that label wins over anything here.
Washing and drying
- Machine wash cold on a gentle or wool cycle, inside out
- A little mild detergent. No bleach, and no fabric softener — it coats the fibre and flattens the stitch
- Dry flat. Never hang — wet knitting stretches under its own weight
- Reshape while damp, and keep it out of the tumble dryer
- Cool iron or steam only if needed, hovering rather than pressing
Storing
- Fold, don’t hang
- Wash before long storage — moths are drawn to what a baby left behind, not to the yarn
- A breathable cotton bag, not a sealed plastic box
- Cedar is fine; mothballs will make it smell like mothballs for years
Snags and pills
- Never cut a snag. Pull the loop through to the wrong side with a needle and leave it there
- A little pilling is normal at first. Lift it with a fabric comb or a sweater stone, not a razor
- Small hole? Send us a photo. We’ll mend it, and we don’t charge for that
